I can't wait to see Vos in the Clone Wars.

I thought I was going to see "The Tooth Fairies of Ord Mantell" on the list of characters...

I'm anxious to see the Hutt council as well.

I'm not sure about Vos. Sometimes he was cool in the comics, and sometimes he just seemed like the corny character whose falling to the darkside and too dumb to realize it. I imagine we won't see any darkside troubles with him in this episode._________________

Why the cynicsm, Joe? Of the four new episodes I think this one has the most promise._________________

I don't want to build high expectations only to be disappointed, but this is what Pablo Hildalgo (StarWars.com writer, wrote some books as well) had to say, having seen the episode:

"At the risk of hyperbole, I think "Hunt for Ziro" may be the greatest Star Wars thing ever made."

First, a rant:

I watched the episode preview on starwars.com and it freaking showed Ziro dead on the ground! They gave it away! As happy as I am that Ziro's been put out of his misery, that was really dumb on Lucasfilm's part. No more previews for me.

Some thoughts:

I haven't read the Republic comics so I don't know how close to the original Quinlan Vos is, but I was surprised that they kept in his Kiffar abilities. Nal Hutta was also very much like how the EU describes it. I'm not sure what to think of the Hutts themselves though...

I liked the episode. One observation, did anyone else feel that Vos had a Keanu Reeves feel? When he said dude, that sealed it As for Zero... _________________
